23: Prohibition

“It’s super awful, but people should know about this.“ It’s time once again for stories and outrage! Also, swears. Lisa, Christina, Carolyn, and Sarah talk temperance, from the movement’s moderate beginnings to hardcore terrible nonsense. All the racism and bad stuff you could ask for, right out of the gate! But did you know that the temperance movement and women’s suffrage were strongly linked to each other? Or, that homing donkeys were used for smuggling booze over the border into Texas? Grab your teacup from under the sink and listen in.
